Small earthquakes

Jennifer Weiner has definitely earned her place among the stars of new women's literature with In Her Place, which hit the big screen with Cameron Diaz, Toni Collette, and Shirley MacLaine. Little Earthquakes is further proof of her talent in the genre. A story of love, disappointment, redemption, and friendship, the film rights to which have already been optioned by the directors of Erin Brockovich. This time, Weiner presents readers with a faithful portrait of the friendship between four very different women experiencing one of life's most wonderful and "risky" transitions: motherhood.
